Dance-punk (also known as disco-punk or punk-funk) is a music genre. In the late 1970s, this music style was most closely associated with the post-punk and No Wave movements. [1]
The original disco-punk fusion came with No Wave icon James Chance, who under the name of James White and The Blacks, released Off White in 1979 on Ze Records.[1] In the early 1980s, the dance-punk scene in New York City was dominated by 99 Records bands such as the Bush Tetras, ESG and Liquid Liquid.[1] The latter two's music was much sampled in the early days of hip-hop. Other significant players were Pylon from Athens, GA, Gang of Four and Medium Medium from the UK.[1]
In 1980 The Clash's rap song The Magnificent Seven became a crossover radio hit in NYC, and German punk chanteuse Nina Hagen had a massive underground dance hit in 1983 with "New York New York", which mixed her searing punk (and opera) vocals with disco beats.[1]
The music style re-emerged under the name dance-punk around the beginning of the 21st century.[2] The style was championed by rock- and punk-oriented bands such as Liars and Radio 4, as well as dance-oriented acts such as Out Hud. Other groups, such as !!! and The Rapture fell somewhere in the middle.[3]There has since been a crystallization of musical forms within dance-punk, with Q and Not U exploring aspects of dance-punk, along with post-hardcore and other musical styles.[4]
A recent British off-shoot of this branch is the newly-coined term New Rave.[5]
